Douglas and Sarpy countiesAreas we serve around Omaha
Getting rid of a mattress around Omaha depends on where you live. Ralston and Bellevue contract with one hauler, La Vista and Gretna leave it to private companies, and part of Elkhorn is inside Omaha while part isn't; each area page cites the city or county source behind those rules and the date we checked it.
How do the seven areas compare?
| Area | County | Trash setup | Cleanup event | Median year built | Health department |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elkhorn | Douglas | Omaha city program inside city limits; private hauler outside | Omaha Fall Cleanup Saturdays, Oct 3 to 24, 2026 (city households) | 2011 (ZIP 68022) | Douglas County Health Department |
| Papillion | Sarpy | Permitted private haulers (four residential on the 2025 list) | Fall Cleanup Days, Oct 19 to 25, 2026 | 1991 | Sarpy/Cass Health Department |
| La Vista | Sarpy | Non-city haulers (city lists four) | Fall Cleanup Days with Papillion, Oct 19 to 25, 2026 | 1993 | Sarpy/Cass Health Department |
| Bellevue | Sarpy | City contract, Papillion Sanitation; mattress pickup for a fee | Two city cleanup days a year (May 9 in 2026) | 1982 | Sarpy/Cass Health Department |
| Gretna | Sarpy | Private haulers (city lists four) | Clean Up Day for city residents (May 2 in 2026); items not listed | 2002 | Sarpy/Cass Health Department |

What stays the same in every area?
Every area gets the same visit: $249 for the first mattress, with a surcharge only for severe or biohazard cases and quoted before we start; an inspection form covering the material, special care notes and urine or odor observations; and technicians in gloves and shoe booties, with equipment disinfected between jobs. Our only checks are a moisture check after the job and a built-in dust mite (bed mite) sensor on the UV-C vacuum. A 72-hour bedroom CO₂ test is a separate optional service, booked on its own or added to a visit and priced by quote; it isn't a medical test. Check your care label and warranty terms before booking.
This page is general information, not medical advice.
How dry vapor steam works, how a treated mattress dries and what bed mites (house dust mites) are don't change at the county line, so the Sleep Sanitation Knowledge Center covers them; the City of Omaha's own disposal rules and housing figures are in Mattresses and Omaha homes.
What don't we know yet?
- This fall's (2026) cleanup dates for Bellevue and any cleanup event in Ralston or Bennington. We list what the cities and Sarpy County had posted on October 3, 2026.
- Bulk pickup prices. The haulers we found don't publish them, with one exception: Gretna Sanitation lists a $75 minimum.
- Basements. The Census Bureau's housing survey doesn't count them, so our housing figures say nothing about lower-level bedrooms.
